Life in Edinburgh

Standard Life has always had its headquarters in the city of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. A world-renowned destination with a very special atmosphere, Edinburgh is steeped in history while also celebrating modern culture and lifestyle.

The city offers the latest shops, bars, hotels, theatres and restaurants, and of course the famous annual Festival - a collection of official and independent festivals held annually over about four weeks from early August, which includes the Edinburgh Fringe, the Edinburgh International Festival, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

It's a city that has something for everyone - and you can get away from it all too, with beaches, beautiful countryside and outdoor activities just a short journey from the city. Living in Edinburgh is another benefit of working for Standard Life.
